I think it’s boring to watch when you’re not taking part, don’t like the sweaty crash helmet and the suit thing you have to wear. Thankfully I only have to deal with it on stag do’s. As it only ever rears it’s ugly head on such occasions, I can only assume other people feel the same way about it, otherwise they’d do it more often. Go karting, paint balling and quad biking - stag activities I dread! What happened to a good old weekend away in Margate and paying for a roly poly dancer to sit on the stags face?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect America to be ahead of the curve in stuff like this, not using primitive methods from 1997. The US has just a fragmented and disjointed banking system, it'll take years to sort out.

Applepay is fairly ubiquitous these days but I’m too paranoid to use it. *old man alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite shocked when I was over there. Well, not shocked.. I couldn't have give less of a shit, but I did think "we have contactless back home". I'm really sorry for going completely, utterly and disgracefully over the top in my description of the event. No excuse, you are pure scum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly four years on from this post, yesterday I saw an absolute hottie in the local shop. A literal 12/10 stone-cold-stunner. Then I noticed one of her ear lobes was practically brushing the top of her shoulder and the hole in her ear was the size of a tennis ball. I still don't get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw a homeless person begging in the streets who had clearing in the woods (the four letter word - for clarity) tattoo'd on his forehead. Big letters all the way across (not done by a professional) His cardboard sign said, unemployed, can’t get a job... Not sure if he ever realised why he was unemployed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he may be gainfully employed, but if I had to stake any money on it I'd say he wasn't. Plus a tattooed face would rule you out of 95% of jobs straight away as no way would the vast majority of employers take you on. Whether that is right or wrong is another matter but you will never get a mainstream job. I always wonder about the thought process someone goes through before having a serpent inked onto your cheek and forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
